Stopped by during lunch

Buford Tower
A look down Cesar Chavez Street looking west. It appears to tower alone, which it probably did in 1930. Just south of the tower is Town Lake.

Stopped by during my lunch hour to log the visit.  The photos are from an earlier visit when I didn't log a find.  The tower seems pretty tiny against the buildings to its north now!
